Hi, I'm Myung Chul. Here is my CV.
I am a second year Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering at Stanford University. I am in Micro and Nano Mechanics Group (Professor Wei Cai), studying mechanics of materials and developing computer simulations. I did my undergraduate in mechanical engineering and electrical engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
My primary research lies in accelerated simulation and modeling of rare events in materials, by utilizing statistical mechanics, atomistic simulations, and machine learning. I also work on dislocation dynamics, regarding its representation and evolution.
Besides research, I enjoy playing violin in my free time (since I was 5 years old). I played as a first violinist in the Illinois Summer Youth Music (ISYM) orchestra in 2013 (link). I was a member of the KAIST orchestra as a first violinist during my undergraduate (link). My favorite violin piece to play is violin concerto e minor op.64 by Mendelssohn.
